A member asked:
How dangerous is for a 3 month baby (breastfeeding) to acquire chicken pox? mom had it on infancy. is there a vaccine or immunoglobulin available?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not dangerous: A 3 months old gets enough immunoglobulins from the mother during pregnancy to protect till about age 6 months,if the mother had chicken pox as a child that means she has protective antibodies in her system and were transferred to the baby,rare at this age to have chicken pox,vaccination is available,but given at age 1, immunoglobulins are indicated for immune deficient patients, ur baby isn't
